Gordon Brown is to face down sceptics in his party and give the go-
ahead for a new generation of nuclear power stations, which will be
built across the country.

They'll only be built if electricity generation companies want to build nukes.

I think they'd quite like to do so,

On what basis do you think that ? Reactor orders have been like hens' teeth ever since
TMI.

but will need a lot of political uncertainty removed,

LMAO ! As if ! They're politicians. Their word is less than worthless.

and also a clear indication of future prices of carbon.

How do you propose to find that ?

The British Government seems to have forgotten it sold off its monopoly position
as the UK's power generator decades ago.

Though it still controls the level of the playing field,

In what way ?

which at the moment is stacked in favour of gas fired power stations.

Still ?

From times online
"What the energy industry wants is clarity. Even so, energy companies,
including RWE, Eon, Suez, EDF, General Electric and West-inghouse,
have already held talks with British Energy about using the sites of
its eight nuclear power stations to build new reactors."

Mentions 4 generators and 2 constructors
